As if absorbing the fear emanating from Miko, the strange monsters around instantly went wild, letting out piercing screams.
Everything is over...
Miko, as if giving up on life, closed her eyes and lowered her head, waiting for death.
"This girl, why does she look like she's been broken?"
Tenya frowned, seemingly thinking of something vaguely.
His eyes instantly narrowed, and both of his pupils suddenly turned crimson.
Blood-red eyes, adorned with three black tomoes, looked extremely oppressive!
Tenya's eyes widened. Under the perspective of the Sharingan, he could finally clearly see the strange monsters in the bus.
Spirits dancing wildly, it was indeed quite terrifying.
"So that's how it is..."
"It seems this world truly has strange existences."
Tenya's expression turned normal, and he quickly regained his composure.
Unlike Miko's forced calmness, Tenya's composure stemmed from his own power.
Miko subconsciously raised her head, staring blankly at Tenya in front of her.
Confirming that the other party hadn't turned into a monster, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, afterward, she fixed her surprised gaze on Tenya's pair of unique crimson eyes.
Tenya's unusual actions successfully attracted the attention of the spirits. Pairs of hollow, eerie eyes focused on him.
"Wait, whatever you do, don't respond..."
Miko trembled as she whispered a reminder, but unexpectedly, the latter replied directly.
"These little things are quite unique looking."
Tenya smiled dismissively.
Under the Sharingan's insight, he could see through them. These strange monsters in front of him were just empty shells with only outward appearance, their inner strength was extremely weak.
A bus full of spirits, combined, were less than one-tenth of the Chakra within Tenya.
The strange monsters seemed to be enraged by Tenya's dismissive actions. They let out a collective roar and immediately turned into countless black shadows, pouncing towards Tenya.
Miko was so scared that she held her breath and closed her eyes. She thought everything was over.
However, at that moment, she heard a steady cold snort beside her ear.
"Little devils, disperse!"
No need to lift a finger, just the aura alone could suppress and eliminate enemies!
The invisible terrifying pressure instantly crushed all the spirits around into dust.
When Miko opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find that the wailing and howling strange monsters in the bus had vanished into thin air at some point.
The bus returned to silence, with only her, Tenya, and Hana sitting in the back row.
It seemed like those strange monsters with terrifying appearances were never here at all.
"Mere grains of sand, not even as good as half of me."
Tenya's expression was calm, not showing the slightest panic from encountering bizarre things for the first time.
To put it bluntly, the reason people feel fear is because of their own weakness.
With the flick of a finger, he can eliminate all the spirits!
What the heck is there to be afraid of?
On the contrary, those spirits should be afraid of Tenya.
Due to excessive tension and holding her breath for a long time, Miko entered a temporary state of oxygen deprivation.
After her body lost strength, she uncontrollably fell into Tenya's arms beside her.
A faint blush appeared on Miko's pale face. Her body was drenched in sweat, making her look very embarrassed.
"Wow! You actually threw yourself into his arms on your own!!"
"Miko, aren't you a little too bold?"
Hana in the back row showed a surprised expression on her face.
Usually, when discussing handsome guys and romance topics at school, Miko always looks disinterested.
She never expected that the cool-natured Miko would also have such a "passionate and uninhibited" side.
[Discovered Treasure Chest Holder: Yotsuya Miko]
Tenya was delighted and decisively chose to extract.
[Opening S-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on getting Spiritual Sense]
Grants the host powerful spiritual perception ability. Even without activating the Sharingan, the host can accurately identify all strange existences.
Tenya's mind stirred. At this moment, he could detect strange monsters hidden in various corners of the city from several kilometers away.
He has basically become a radar.
"It's alright, Yotsuya-san must be carsick. Rest well."
Tenya smiled slightly and gently placed the weak and powerless Miko's body flat on his lap.
Having extracted a treasure chest from the young girl, it was natural to be a little nicer to her after receiving a benefit.
They were clearly strangers they had just met today.
This, this is too embarrassing, isn't it?
Miko's cheeks were burning, and she wanted to struggle to get up, but her body hadn't recovered from the shock she had just experienced.
Tenya said, "I'm a transfer student from Sobu High School's second year Class F, my name is Yoshida Tenya."
"Yotsuya-san, please take care of me."
Meeting Tenya's clear eyes, Miko's still-shaken heart finally calmed down.
After resting for a moment and regaining the ability to move her body, Miko immediately left Tenya's lap.
"Th-thank you, Yoshida-san..."
Miko's cheeks were burning hot, and looked like a ripe red apple.
This was the first time she had such close contact with an unfamiliar male in her life.
"Just a small matter."
Tenya replied lightly.
In fact, he didn't even need to lift a finger.
Just by releasing his Conqueror's Haki, it was enough to eliminate all the spirits in the bus.
Miko hesitated to speak.
She really wanted to ask about the strange incident that had just happened. But she didn't know where to start.
After all, this kind of thing is simply too unbelievable for ordinary people.
Tenya seemed to have seen through the doubts in her heart.
He shook his head, and said lightly, "I don't know any more than you do."
But your eyes, no matter how I look at them, don't seem like those of an ordinary person?
Miko's eyes flickered. Knowing her limits, she wouldn't casually inquire about others' secrets.
"Yotsuya-san, see you tomorrow."
Tenya got off the bus. He still needed to find a place to rent.
"Mhm. See you tomorrow, Yoshida-san." Miko smiled brightly and replied.
The gloom that had weighed on her heart for many days was swept away in an instant.
Her true thoughts at this moment were, 'This is really great! It seems I'm not the only one in this world who can see those strange monsters. At least, Yoshida-san can see them too!'
Miko is a strong-willed girl. Even when facing the supernatural, she can maintain an absolutely calm demeanor, without any change in expression.
But even so, she couldn't completely hide the loneliness and solitude deep within her heart.
Tenya's appearance made her feel as if she had found someone like herself, and her heart found a sense of reliance.
In the end, Miko is still essentially just an ordinary high school girl.
"Mhm~ Miko, shouldn't you explain what just happened to me properly?"
Hana's somewhat sharp voice came from behind. "There were so many seats on the bus, but you just threw me to the back. What? Were you afraid I'd disturb you while you hit on a handsome guy?"
